The Ligue 2 fixture between Clermont and Annecy on January 23, 2026, promises a tight contest, with Clermont holding a slight 40% win probability. The match kicks off at 19:00 and we've analysed all the latest team form, head-to-head records and league standings to bring you the best Clermont vs Annecy prediction and betting tips.

Team Form

Clermont come into this game on the back of a mixed run. Their last five results read W-W-W-D-L, with a 1‑0 friendly win over US Orleans and league victories over Guingamp (1‑0) and Montpellier (2‑1) showing they can be hard to beat. A 1‑1 home draw with SC Bastia and a 1‑0 loss at Le Mans underline some inconsistency.

Annecy's recent form is almost identical: L-W-W-W-D. They suffered a 2‑1 home defeat to Rodez Aveyron but responded with two emphatic away wins at Boulogne (2‑1) and Nancy (5‑1). A 5‑1 home thrashing of Pau and a 0‑0 draw with Montpellier complete their last five outings, giving them confidence on the road.

Head-to-Head Record

In the last five meetings, home wins count for two and away wins for three, with no draws. The most recent clash, back in January 2026, saw Annecy beat Clermont 2‑1 at home. Clermont's last home win against Annecy came in the May 2025 Ligue 2 fixture (3‑2), highlighting how evenly contested this fixture has been.

League Table Positions

Annecy occupy a strong 7th place in the Ligue 2 standings with 52 points from 34 games, posting 49 goals scored and 39 conceded. Clermont, on the other hand, sit outside the top 12, which gives the visitors a clear seasonal edge. Annecy's away record is also notable: 8 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses, putting them 5th in the away table with 25 points.

Win Probability: Clermont or Annecy?

Based on all available data, Clermont have a 40% chance of winning, a draw stands at 25%, and Annecy hold a 35% chance of taking all three points. Clermont's home advantage and three wins in their last five matches justify the slight favouritism, but Annecy's higher league position, solid away form (wins at Boulogne and Nancy) and a head-to-head edge make the 35% very realistic. The match could easily swing either way, so the draw probability is also significant.
